Tom Putaansuu, M.Ed. Owner/ Audiologist
"Prior to coming to Olympia in 1993, I had worked with a group of ENT physician's in Virginia. I had spent my childhood on the Olympic Peninsula and knew that I wanted to return to Washington State following completion of my degree in Audiology from James Madison University.
I've met a lot of wonderful people throughout my career and I've seen a lot of progress in technology. The past couple years have been the most exciting with digital and Bluetooth advancements.
I welcome any questions you may have about hearing. Feel free to contact me via the e-mail link below."
